One of my favorite two-toned henna stains. Creating multiple shades in the design requires several extra steps and some advanced planning but is well worth the effort.

This check pattern has been used for thousands of years in henna and other forms of body decoration. I have seen similiar patterns painted in red on the feet of Egyptian mummies.

Two toned henna stains are a contemporary interpretation of traditional henna patterns. The added depth creates an elegant pattern and brings it to life.

Pattern inspired by the Turkish ceramic tiles of Mahou Bey from the 16th century
